Oh hi,

This week on Filmsack, we take a mental picture of the room, one hot hostess check, one oddly shaped man in the reflection of a coffee pot check, still waiting on my 12 year old Scotch to arrive so I can stomach the SPY GAME, check. GAME! More like a boring ass job game that involves paper work, meetings, phone calls, more paper work and at least one fax. You know what, screw that. Just throw me into a Chinese prison for a friendly 2 hour beating after we dash across the war torn streets of Netflix to dinner out this 2001 Action Thriller Asset now blowing ridiculously sized bubbles from the “shut-up already do you want to get us caught, chewing gum” we game them. Damnit guy…that was chewing gum…not bubble gum.

Anywho, I think I just gave you four pieces of personal information for one dubious impersonal fact. 1) You’re straight until you are bi, 2) You’re ex-wives are fiction, 3) You weren’t invited to the retirement party and 4) Puke pills are best shaken, not stirred… hwarf. 

Randy, you really put the Ass in Asset. Wanna hook up later?

BRIEF

Spy Game (2001) follows CIA veteran Nathan Muir (Robert Redford) as he learns that his former protégé, Tom Bishop (Brad Pitt), has been captured in China for an unauthorized mission. With Bishop facing a tight deadline before execution, Muir must utilize his cunning and experience to navigate internal agency politics, piece together their past adventures, and orchestrate a daring rescue. Through flashbacks spanning Vietnam, Berlin, and Beirut, the film reveals the history between mentor and student, culminating in a high-stakes finale of intelligence and bold action.
